Paragraph 92
 

Article 51, par. 1, provides that the ballot may be published “in any other language understandable for the local population.” Positive developments in the law include amendments in November 2007 to Articles 511, par. 10 and Article 512, par. 11, which address a recommendation from the last Joint Opinion to provide that various election materials be printed in minority languages.[37] Nevertheless, it is recommended that these provisions obligate the publishing and distribution of election materials in minority languages supplementary to the ones in Georgian language, and not having them as discretionary.
